The Php Template System.

Here Is where im going to explain the Veria code, its very simple and easy to do it will allow u to have 2 files a header.html and a footer.html with which you can update the entire look of the site by editing just these 2 files. The system can also can be used with query strings which means you can essentially have 4 files (header.html,footer.html,news.html, and core.php) for the entire site!!!

Now the code below is very simple and i will try to explain the functions of each tag as much as possible.

<?php
require('header.php');

$page = $_GET['page'];
if (($page == "home") or ($page =="")) {
include('news/news.php');
} else if($page == "projects") {
include('content/projects.html');
} require('footer.php');
?>

Ok first we take a look at the line require('header.php'); this line means that when the php script loads it looks for the Header.php first thing (i have a header.php for extra code but this isnt really needed so yours should just be header.html) Make sure you put all of your html and other html-like code into the header.html.

The next thing we see is
$page = $_GET['page'];
if (($page == "home") or ($page =="")) { include('news/news.php');
} else if($page == "projects") {
include('content/projects.html');
}

This means that it will GET the page which is set to home and include the news/news.php (NOTE: im using fuzion news as my news client unless you want to use a similar client it would be news/news.html) now youll also notice

else if($page == "projects"){
include('content/projects.html');
}

The else if($page == "projects") is using an else if which means else if not home then show page == "projects" which would be a link of sorts that would look like this (EX: ?page=projects) this would then show the html file specified in the include('content/projects.html'); command.

You want more then one page of content u say? Well no problem all you have to do is copy

else if($page == "projects"){
include('content/projects.html');
}

Put it directly underneath the prior else if command like so:

else if($page == "projects"){
include('content/projects.html');
}else if($page == "layouts"){
include('content/layouts.html');
}

Now you have 2 pages of content all you have to do now is create the html accordingly.

(Note: This process of copying and pasting the code can be repeated for an infinite number of times for an infinite number of content pages, thus u only need one php file (core.php) for your entire site)

I hope this Tutorial has helped u in someway or another!
